MARINE CORPS SILVER “PISTOL SHOT FIRST CLASS” QUALIFICATION BADGE. MARINE CORPS SILVER “PISTOL SHOT FIRST CLASS” QUALIFICATION BADGE USMC 1922. DIMENSIONS: (WIDTH) 1 3/4. THIS IS NOT A REPRODUCTION.
Order of the Battle Red Banner, extremely rare “Transcaucasian” type, serial number 25,000, awarded to a cavalry platoon commander for fighting to defeat illegal anti-government bandit formations (Basmachi) in Central Asia. The recipient actually had three orders (two of which were official). The third was personally awarded to him by his military unit, bypassing regulations and statutes! Orders of this type were presumably made by private craftsmen in Soviet Transcaucasia. Only 130 were produced. Serial numbers are from 25,000 to 25129. The order consists of four parts. The first part is the order itself, a composite piece consisting of four components. The first component is the base of the order, made of sterling silver. The description of the order’s image is identical to that of Type 1. However, the execution of almost all components differs. The orders also differ from one another. This is most likely due to the fact that individual batches of orders were made in different jewelry workshops. The order is much thicker than Type 1 and larger: approximately 46 mm in height and approximately 40 mm in width. The reverse of the order has virtually no counter-relief. The number is punched; it can be stamped either at the top or bottom of the order, in large numerals approximately 5 mm high or small numerals approximately 2 mm high. The second applique component is a gilded silver laurel wreath with a hammer and sickle inside, attached to the center of the order, on a white enamel field, with three copper pins. The ends of the pins on the reverse side were most often bent, and sometimes riveted. The third part is a brass screw soldered to the center of the order’s reverse. A fourth part is placed on the base of the screw-a round, slit brass washer, which serves to strengthen the screw’s attachment to the order. The second part is a thin, round, concave-convex brass washer with a diameter of 33 mm. A number identical to the serial number of the order itself is stamped along its convex side, along the edge. The digits of the number are stamped with the same punches used to stamp the digits on the order itself. In the center of the washer is a hole for the screw. The third part is a small, 14-16 mm in diameter, very convex brass nut with ears, which connects the rosette and washer to the order and serves to secure the order to the washer. The fourth part is a round, corrugated rosette of red moiré, framing the order. Although no order of this type with a rosette has yet survived, we still assume that they, as expected, were also equipped with a moiré rosette. It should be noted that, despite the varied designs of Type 2 orders, all washers and nuts are identical. Therefore, it can be assumed that all brass components for the orders were made in a single place. Silver, enamel, applied hammer and sickle elements (on clamp-antennae), thick blank format 26 grams (unlike the basic BKZ RSFSR 15.5-17g). Brass screw, pressure plate with number and small nut. On the 3 o’clock position on the counter, there is a surface finish. Enamel chips with an area of?? 3 mm2/sq. (shown in the photo).
